Description
The Cock Inn, including outbuildings at the rear, is a late 16th-century building with a plastered timber frame. It features an old red tile roof that is steeply pitched and slated at the rear. The building has two storeys, with the west elevation showcasing a jettied first floor supported by three jettied gables, the north gable displaying a 19th-century iron sign. There is a central 19th-century double door with a consoled cornice, flanked by late 18th-century canted window bays. The south elevation reveals exposed half-timbering with carpenter's marks, and there is a three-bay timber-framed extension to the east, which has modern plaster. Further east, a 19th-century extension consists of red brick and weatherboarded storerooms with two pitched roofs, covered in old red and concrete tiles. The interior retains much of its exposed timber frame.
